PARIS - Britain's fastest woman Dina Asher-Smith has taken up pottery classes to unwind as she trains in Texas for the Paris Olympics, where the 28-year-old is eyeing her first Olympic gold medal.

Asher-Smith holds the British record for the 100 and 200 metres, has a world championship gold in the 200 and silver in the 100 and won bronze in the 4x100 relay at the Rio and Tokyo Games but has not won an Olympic medal in an individual event.

"I'd love an Olympic gold... If not now, when?" she told Reuters in an interview.
